| I am a completely newbie. I have a problem installing Redhat
Enterprise 4.0. When I reboot the computer by the CD1, it says
"MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM". Does anyone know how to figure out this
problem? Thanks in advance.

Make sure in the BIOS it is set to Boot From CD

Did you buy or download the CD? If you downloaded it, perhaps it's
burned improperly. Sometimes that has happened to me. If this is the
case, you might try another download and recreate the cd, make sure
you use "create cd from image file" type option.
If you bought the CD premade, it could A) be a bad CD, or B) your
PC may have something set wrong in the BIOS. Check all the boot
options like boot order, boot from CD before disk, etc.
Hope that helps

Or the hardware (system BIOS and/or the CD drive's firmware) may not support
booting from a CD that does not boot via floppy emulation. RHEL 4 uses
ISOLINUX for booting which is not a floppy emulation. Simple workaround;
